the assent of farmers to the proposition
that a stiff sod is positive injury to
any orchard, and not only stunts the
growth of the tree, but also lessons the
quantity and especially detracts from
quality of the fruit that is produced.
In order to prove this would urge any
one who has trees capable of producing
valuable fruit to try the experiment
this season, Give your whole orchard
top dressing Of manure now, the SOON
er the better, then as soon as you can,
pillow a part of it thoroughly as you can.
You may have to pillow quite shallow
near to the trees but do not be alarmed
if many roots are cut. This root prun-
ing can do no permanent injury at any
season, and none at all when it is done
before growth starts. All large trees
have enough roots deep in the soil to
keep them rowing and they soon throw
up new growth of rootlets to feed
upon the manure and inverted sod and
the effect can frequently be very plainly
seen before the fruit comes, in the gen.
erel thrift of the tree and color of the
leaves
This is not theory, but the result of
thirty years observation in this county,
and some inspection of large orchards
elsewhere both among the peaches be-
low us and the large apple orchards of
New York.
If we would raise apples as a source
of profit, we must aim to produce the
very best, and then deliver them in a
market in the best possible condition.
To do this we must have enough of them
or of any one variety to make the selling
an object. We can experiment with
what we have, enough to gain few
points ON the subject above outlined, and
1 may add at another time some
thoughts and observations as to vari-
cites and marketing. G. B.

The american Farmer of Baltimore

profitable reading for farmers in the

associate editor, B. Puryear, L. L. D.,

taxes on tobacco and whiskey, would
have been greatly improved had the

four fifths of it. The writer's sympathy
for the moonshiners and manufacturers
